I asked Eibach directly and here was their response:
Fronts are 137-177 lbs/in , and rear springs are 86-255 lbs/in
So, going off these specs the fronts are slightly stiffer than stock when full compressed and the rears are softer
(assuming we have the same spring rates as the SI which is 155lb/in and 320lb/in)
However, the pro-kit numbers note progressive or dual-rated spring rates so it's very interesting!
With an empty hatch the rear suspension is pretty aggressive over speed bumps and poor road conditions. As a daily, I've been back and forth about doing the swap.
In theory, the softer initial travel will "give" more during impacts. This also could explain why people are getting more drop than the spec 1.3" F and 1.0" R.
Would like to hear more owner long term experience too!
